Welcome to Nightingale Housing
Nightingale Housing provides apartments that are socially, financially and environmentally sustainable. We believe that homes should be built for people, not profit.

Before we started Nightingale Housing, we looked across Melbourne, and we saw that housing was unaffordable, badly designed, and poorly built. We knew it could be better. As Breathe Architecture, and with the help of Small Giants, we embarked on The Commons, which won the national award for housing and the national award for sustainability.

The site across the street from The Commons was to become the first Nightingale project. We started work on Nightingale 1 in 2014, and we completed that in 2017. In 2018 Nightingale 1 won the national award for housing and the national award for sustainability, and was the first residential building to win the Melbourne Prize. The reason that Nightingale won that award wasn't because of the architecture, but because when the jury went through, the people seemed genuinely happy to be living there.
